Yes, there certainly was. It was called the "Apple II Interface",
the name is silkscreened onto the card. It's a simple card made up of various
74LSxxx ICs and an EPROM. Incidentally, you'll needs to have a later version
EPROM with the part number 341-0299-B if it's to be used under GS/OS (IIgs).
Of course most Apple IIgs users are going to want a fast SCSI/IDE interface
and drive, the ProFile uses some non-standard Parallel interface (rather slow).
The older ROM version should work fine when used with an Apple II,
II+ or IIe. From what I've heard, this card is quite rare, so you might have
difficulties finding one. Try comp.sys.apple2.marketplace, I did notice a few
for sale the past couple of days...
